The Greenhouse Project brings the art and science of cultivation to NYC Schools
Imagine kids not only eating their vegetables, but cultivating, harvesting and donating those left over to food bank organizations such as City Harvest.
It’s all in a day’s work for NY Sun Works’ Greenhouse Project.
The idea here is both very simple and quite far-reaching: expand curricula in NYC public schools K-12 by installing and maintaining greenhouses on school grounds, where students learn the details of growing, composting, fertilization, harvesting and even food preparation under the guidance of teachers trained by NY Sun Works.
